Vice As Nice

We have a new box office champ in the U.S.

Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo as usual, kicks things off....

Busted 'Miami Vice,' scored an estimated $25.2 million to dethrone ''Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' [falling to 2nd place with $20,4 million] while 'The Ant Bully' [at #5 with just $8.1 in ticket sales] was squashed.

Gray has much more to say on the subject--and that can be found here

Ben Fritz of Variety has an overview called 'Vice' gets a grip on still-strong 'Pirates'

'Miami' heats up screens to cool 'Caribbean'

"Miami" takes on "Pirates" is Entertainment Weekly' Dave Karger's weekend wrap-up: (filling in for Joshua Rich)

Heartthrobs rule the box office as "Miami" heats up and teens rush in to swoon over "John Tucker"; meanwhile, "The Ant Bully" gets left behind

Yeah, yeah "Pirates" and all that...

...Another aspect of the story are the tweens...they are indeed quite a force at the movies. John Tucker Must Die made just over $14 million bucks to land in third place among some heavy hitters--putting Ant Bully down and then some.
